DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE
1-8-4300814-0370 E&OS - Parks - Drainage Issue Pier #31 Keegan Parkway
The Condominium Board has approached City staff stating that surface drainage of the
condominium lands fronting Keegan Parkway is being significantly impaired by the Kiwanis
East Bayshore Trail which is located at the front of the property. The Condominium Board
believes the Trail is the cause of flooded basements and property loss. Budget request is
to locate city property limits, plot existing grades & drainage pattern, determine city
responsibility and take appropriate action. There are two existing eight inch culverts under
the trail and a ditch inlet on the road allowance.

In 2014, Council approved one physician recruitment position per year on an ongoing basis.
Physicians signed to the City’s program receive $25,000 per year for a total of six years.
Staff are proposing an additional position each year on an ongoing basis which would mean
the addition of two new family physicians to Belleville per year for the foreseeable future. If
approved annual payments for each year will increase by $50,000 per year (Two doctors at
$25,000 per year each) until year 6 when the total annual amount will level off to $300,000
per year. Funding is to be paid from Veridian dividends. Funding and expenditure for
current year is as follows;

E&DS - Building Services - New Position - Building Inspector II - Report No. CBO-2015- $
04
The City Building Section issues on average 815 permits per year. While a number of these
permits proceed expeditiously, there is a growing number of permits that remain
outstanding. Historically when construction slowed during the winter, staff would follow up
on these outstanding permits to complete inspections and close older files. With advances
in construction technology, and the economic urgency to complete construction in as little
time as possible, we are no longer experiencing a winter slow down to the same extent as in
previous years. This has meant that staff no longer have time to follow up on older permit
files and the number of outstanding files continues to increase, creating a liability for the
City. The City Solicitor has outlined a strategy to help mitigate this liability which involves
staff "chasing " the permit holders to complete outstanding work and inspections allowing
the file to be closed. It is therefore recommended that an additional Building Inspector
position be created to collectively reduce the workload for each Building Inspector to provide
time for them to pursue these older outstanding permit files and reduce the potential
liability for the City. It is important to recognize that Building Section expenses are funded
through the collection of building permit fees and not from the general tax base. Labour
costs are as follows;
Salaries:
$27,400 (Fiscal) $56,500 (Annual)
Benefits:
$4,600 (Fiscal)

1-8-4100700-0030 was premised on two years of operations with some increased programing and rentals,
however not to the volumes, complexities and variety of which has been realized in 2014,
our third year of operations. As outlined in this report, staff is recommending that we hire
one new full-time Building Maintenance – Recreation Facilities position. If Council agrees to
this key staff adjustment, it will greatly assist the RCCS Department staff in attempting to
maintain the current service levels of our core businesses while maintaining the Quinte
Sports & Wellness Centre and its various assets within. Details related to volumes
experienced and strategies in addressing those challenges can be found in our staff report.

1-8-4100610-0030 The Museum has demonstrated the necessity for revisions to staffing. A full time Museum
Administrative and Collections Assistant would effectively cover the remaining duties of the
Secretary/Bookkeeper also enable the museum to better meet the Ministry of Culture’s
museum standards for collections management. This position would replace the
Secretary/Bookkeeper position which was vacated on August 29, 2014. We are proposing
that the position be replaced with a trained museum professional which would allow the
Museum to maintain its hours of operation for the public (6 days/week, year-round) with less
than the current staffing complement.

1-8-3000400-0520 E&DS - Engineering - Bike Lane - Implementation Plan
The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) has been endorsed by Council. One of the outcomes
of the TMP was the development and endorsement of a proposed cycling network
throughout the City to include a combination of on-road and off-road facilities. In 2014 the
City proceeded with a plan to create on-street bike lanes on Bridge Street East in
accordance with the cycling plan in the Transportation Master Plan. During the public
consultation phase of the project it became evident that the general public was not well
informed of the cycling plan; especially the roads identified, and that a Implementation Plan
should be developed to provide a better understanding and acceptance by the public. Funds
allocated will be used to develop an implementation strategy in consultation with Council
and to have a series of Public Information Centres to involve the public in the
implementation process. The Implementation Plan would help steer future decisions by
obtaining public input, determining roads needs to accommodate the paths and establish a
schedule for implementation.

1-8-5300940-0060 E&DS - Planning - ArcGIS License Expansion
We require a multi-user ArcGIS Standard license for our Planning Technician so that users
can update the Parcels, Roads and other vital data simultaneously. Currently, GIS
users/editors need to regularly ask each other to exit the ArcGIS software in order to save
edits. With another Standard license we can set up Versioned data where 2 editors can
effectively work on the same data at the same time. As the City moves ahead with the
WorkTech solution for asset management, there will be an increased need for multi-user
GIS editing. The City also has increasing need for Imagery processing of Lidar (highly
accurate elevation data) and Aerial Imagery. GIS has grown as a valuable source of
information, data and mapping for all City departments and we need to properly invest in the
System with appropriate licensing.

1-8-3520500-0420 E&OS - Waste Management - Thurlow Landfill - Asphalt Shingle Processing
This issue is for the grinding of approximately 6,500 m3 to 7,000 m3 of asphalt shingles and
mixing with sand for use as daily cover for the Thurlow Landfill site. It is estimated that
processing these shingles will expand the site capacity by two to three years. In 2009 an
application to amend the Certificate of Approval for the Thurlow Landfill Site for the grinding
of asphalt shingles was submitted to the Ministry of the Environment and in December of
2010 the amendment was approved. If this issue is not completed the shingles will remain
in the site.

The operational review has recommended that the City review its transit route network in
order to improve ridership and performance. One of the recommendations is to create a
connection between Loyalist College and the Quinte Mall. The Transit Advisory Committee
has indicated this to be a priority. It is estimated that 2 temporary operators would be
required to provide this route on a one year trial basis starting in September 2015. The
continued viability of the route will be assessed in 2016 and a recommendation brought to
Council. The costs and funding of this issue are as follows;

to address the request from Blue Communities to Belleville City Council, in 2013. The
Green Task Force has evaluated this request in length and have recommended the
promotion of our tap water, its safety and to make water available. In 2014, we installed a
water filtration system at the QSWC as a pilot project and have received very positive
feedback from the community. The locations of these new stations will be; an additional
fountain at QSWC, Belleville Water (195 College St), and City Hall's 4th Floor fountain
(which requires replacement). The projected cost to install each fountain is $3,300.

Budget funds in the amount of $30,000 were allocated in 2014, of which over $28,000 was
approved for projects. The Reserve Fund balance is approximately $76,500, of which
almost $43,500 is allocated to approved projects, leaving just over $33,000 unallocated enough to support approximately three projects. The Facade Improvement Committee
expects that capital improvements to Downtown, and the Committee's intention to more
proactively recruit applicants will renew interest from property owners, and they approved a
resolution recommending allocation an additional $67,000 for applications (bringing the
unallocated reserve to $100,000). $5,000 of this funding will be utilized for CIP Building
